Our team has created an Integrated Resource Platform (IRP®) that offers compelling "sustainable value" propositions to diverse vertical industry participants at all stages of the end-to-end process lifecycle. The solution requires universal high speed communications, flexible infrastructure and shared industry network functions, processes and transactions.
The Internet now provides a universal telecommunications broadband network that enables the exchange of high speed information.
Utility computing now provides scalable processing and storage capabilities as a pay as you go service similar to a traditional public utility (such as electricity, water, natural gas, or telephone network).

IRP® can now provide a Platform as a service (PAAS) which is a computer platform comprising a set of software systems capable of delivering real time concurrent end-to-end common functions, processes and transactions to heterogeneous industry vertical network participants on a many-to-many basis; at a fraction of the cost and risk of traditional software.

Information technology has always focused on solutions for the enterprise because of the physical, technical and economic constraints that have existed around the interoperability between demand / supply network enterprises.
However the advent of internet, utility computing and PAAS means these constraints no longer exist; enabling industry vertical participants to utilize a shared and secure business environment in real time, to construct, connect, collaborate, cooperate and compete; just like they do every day in the real world.
The local shopping mall is a live example of this phenomenon, retailers collaborate to attract shoppers to the mall, cooperate to maintain the facilities and have access to the receiving docks; while fiercely competing to win business from each other.
This shared environment facilitates synchronized visibility throughout the end-to-end network process lifecycle, and the co-creation of new value propositions among collaborating partners; and the elimination of excess waste from the network.
IRP® enables multi-tenanted network participants to combine, diffuse and recombine in real time, common functions, common processes, common transactions and common data to produce unique value propositions for each industry vertical participant at every stage of the end-to-end network process.
IRP® does not rip and replace existing legacy systems, it leverages and extends their capabilities beyond the enterprise boundaries; creating new core competences for platform participants.
For the first time in information technology’s brief history we’ve seen consumers lead the way in the adoption of networks like Facebook (400million users), or LinkedIn (estimated 50million users).
These consumers have demonstrated their willingness to adopt shared systems because the benefits far outweigh any associated risks. Industry network participants can now drive similar “network effect” benefits into demand / supply networks that consumer platforms have enthusiastically adopted.
